This post features promotional flyers for party events taking place on Mykonos during specific days in July only. If you want to see events for other months during summer 2016, click here.

Daily party events

The island’s main party beaches are Paradise, Super Paradise and Paraga, where beach parties start in the afternoon and continue into the evening. At Paradise, parties start around 4 p.m. at Tropicana Club and at Guapaloca, while partying can begin as early as mid afternoon at Super Paradise Club at Super Paradise beach. Guapaloca also throws a body painting partyk every night at 10 p.m. At Paraga, you’ll find afternoon beach parties at Kalua, daily pool parties at 5 p.m. at Sueno Village, and music entertainment events most days of the week at Scorpios. Parties can spontaneously erupt at Psarou beach, as well, when guests at Nammos beach bar and restaurant feel the urge to let loose (and they often do).

In Mykonos Town, Semeli Hotel holds a Sun:Set party at 6 p.m. every day in its Semeli Lounge. The Elysium Hotel in the School of Fine Arts district presents its famous Sunset Cabaret on its seaview pool terrace every evening starting at 8:30 p.m., while @54 Club has nightly drag shows starring Roxy Brooks and dancer Matthew Malia at 1 a.m. At the 4711 live music club, Dionisis Sxoinas will perform nightly (except on Tuesdays and Wednesdays) from July 21 through to August 21.

Regular weekly events

Besides special one-time events featuring leading Greek and international DJs, some bars and beach clubs hold regular theme parties on specific days of the week. Here are some of the regular events being offered during July and August this summer:

Party announcements are added to this post whenever they are released, so check back regularly for updates. I usually add new events every day, and sometimes more than once a day. Note that most bars and clubs don’t post their full party schedules for the summer, and sometimes announce special events or DJ appearances as little as one to three days before they take place.

{Updated November 7 2015. Summer is long past and the main party season on Mykonos has concluded, though you’ll find a number of bars open in Mykonos Town throughout the winter (some of which feature live Greek musical entertainment). Party venues will begin reopening early next spring, as the promotional images for Guapaloca and Paradise Beach Club (below) indicate. If you would like to get an idea of what the island’s party scene is like, turn to page 2 of this post. It contains an extensive list of events that took place from March through the end of October in 2015. You can expect similar event scheduling in 2016. ]

Where to get your groove on: With September’s arrival, peak travel season on Mykonos has passed — and that means the party season is starting to wind down. The party isn’t over by any means, but it just won’t be as frenzied and crazy as it got during July and August.

The Mykonos party scene started revving up in early spring when bars and clubs gradually began to open. Paradise Lounge was the first beach venue to open in 2015 — on March 25, to be precise — while über-stylish Nammos restaurant and bar at Psarou beach launched its season 10 days later, on April 4.

April 4 was the day the party scene in Mykonos Town kicked off with a bang — that’s when Room 101 dance club held its opening party featuring DJ Diversion.

Since then all the island’s top bars and clubs have opened their doors, and a slew of newcomers — including the new beach clubs Scorpios and Monarch, plus Toy Room, Project, Bonbonniere, Breeze and Vicolo in Mykonos Town — have joined in.

This post contains a day-by-day, month-by-month listing of all bar and club parties that were announced on social media this year.

The Jackie O’ Beach Club & Restaurant opened July 1 at Super Paradise beach on Mykonos. The aerial photo below shows the new club’s location on the hillside overlooking the west end of picturesque Super Paradise beach. The pictures were posted on Facebook by club co-owner Carsten Stehr, who created the stylish new beach venue with business partner Michalis Sigounas. Click on the images to view them in full-size format.

Club class: A stylish new restaurant and bar has opened at Super Paradise, one of the legendary party beaches on Mykonos.

Featuring Cycladic sculptural design elements in an amphitheatrical hillside setting at the west end of Super Paradise beach, Jackie O’ Beach boasts a large open-air bar, a 150-seat restaurant, private lounge areas, its own beachfront, swimming pool, jacuzzi and even a church. A Sotris clothing and fashion accessories shop is also part of the complex, which opened on the site of the former Coco Beach Club (see my August 16 2011 post for a description of the old club, as well as photos of the location’s terrific views of Super Paradise beach and bay).
